Drawer Connector for Power and Signal in One Housing
The TE Connectivity 2212082-1 is a drawer-style receptacle with 40 positions arranged as 36 signal and 4 power contacts. It mounts to a panel and terminates via crimp, making it a field-installable interconnect for modular equipment where a drawer or slide-in assembly carries both power and signal lines through a single connector interface.
Position Layout: 36 Signal, 4 Power
The 40-position layout splits into 36 signal circuits and 4 power circuits within the same housing. This hybrid arrangement saves a separate power connector and simplifies the harness routing — the signal pins handle low-current data or control lines, while the four power contacts carry the main DC or AC feed. The crimp termination allows the harness builder to terminate each wire individually with the matching TE crimp tooling.
Panel Mount and Field Installation
Panel mounting means the receptacle is fixed to the enclosure wall or chassis, and the mating plug (drawer side) slides into it. The guide pin eases alignment in a blind-mate scenario — typical for a power supply drawer or a controller module that slides into a rack.
